You will need to order individual parts from Audi or TPS.

I have not much experience with Meyle HD arms, I only have 2 straight lower arms on the S8, not had them long and not much mileage done.

However Meyle HD track rod ends did not impress me. A6 when we bought it had extensive service and repair history and only one of the track rod ends have ever been replaced not long before we bought a car with 150k miles on it. None of the arms have been replaced. Half year later before MOT second track rod end needed replacing as well so I went for Meyle HD version, couple of months later one of them started squeaking so because it was getting dry. I put new new grease in it an it lasted less then year in total, the other one was still fine. I though maybe it was just a one off manufacturing error that there was not enough grease in there so I bought a new set of the same HD version. These lasted about 2 years and 23k miles. So that was better than cheap aftermarket ones that seem to last for a year and somewhere 6-10k miles but nowhere near OEM stuff and not 4 years that claims to be Meyle warranty for HD version. I bought them on e-bay so I cannot be sure it was genuine Meyle stuff but they had Meyle and Made in Germany stamped on them and branded packaging but you never know. I never tried to claim them on warranty and at least rubber boots did not start cracking and falling apart in a year like on some(not all) cheap aftermarket stuff. The factory arms are still fine at 185k miles on A6.

I think if you want to keep car for a long time and do a lot of miles it's best to buy genuine OEM stuff, it may cost more but at least it will gives you piece of mind and you only pay once for fitting. If you do the spannering yourself then it might be different.

I guess the point of storing stuff for years and not always in correct conditions raised by Adrian may be valid but if the parts can last over 10 years and 100k miles of the abuse on the car I don't think couple of years in warehouse will do much damage.
